On this week’s show, our panellists — former Canadiens defenceman and assistant coach Rick Green, Gazette columnist Stu Cowan and Canadiens podcast host Andrew Berkshire — join host Moe Khan to discuss what Canadiens fans can expect from the team’s post-mortem news conference on Friday with Jeff Gorton, the executive vice-president of hockey operations, and general manager Kent Hughes taking questions from the media. Will the main message from management be positive and what was the most disappointing part of the season?
They also weigh in on these topics:
- The fact the Canadiens have made an improvement of at least 13 points in the standings this season from last season, when they were the worst team in the NHL.
- The long list of injuries that really hurt the Canadiens this season. Should changes be made to the team’s medical staff during the off-season?
- The development of the team’s young players this season, including five rookie defencemen and forward Rafaël Harvey-Pinard, who made the most of his opportunity after getting called up from the AHL’s Laval Rocket.
- Chris Wideman’s comment that the Toronto Maple Leafs will “get what they deserve in a few weeks” in the playoffs after putting in a University of Toronto goalie for the final minute of a 7-1 win over the Canadiens last Saturday.
- The performance of Juraj Slafkovsky during his rookie season after being the No. 1 overall pick at last year’s NHL draft.
